When you clean the outside of the vehicle with a
pressure washer, do not use more than 700 psi pres-
sure. Keep a minimum distance of 12 inches from
the spray nozzle to the painted surface. Do not clean
the plastic parts with abrasive solvents.
Make sure you use correct methods and cleaning materi-
als to decrease the risk of damage to the outside of the
vehicle. The use of more than 700 psi water pressure can
cause injury to anyone in the area or damage to vehicle.

Remove small scratches with a plastic polish or Plexus®
plastic cleaner, available from the service parts depart-
ment.
Apply a soap and water solution with a sponge or soft
brush to clean the vinyl seats and plastic or rubber trim.
Dry with a cloth.

remove oil, tar, asphalt, shoe polish, etc.
Wash the vehicle frequently with cool water and mild
detergent to protect the painted surfaces.
Apply wax that is for clear coat automotive finishes to
improve the appearance and protection of the painted
surfaces. Do not apply wax to matte finish surfaces.
Materials used as fertilizers or for dust control can collect
on the bottom of the vehicle. These materials will cause
corrosion of components, unless cleaned with water.
Clean areas where mud or dirt can collect. Loosen the
sediment that is packed in closed areas to help with
removal. Be careful not to damage the paint.
